Morra Aarons-Mele, who wrote the story, said the problem is in the economic impact those business have. According to the Kauffman Foundation, less than 2 percent of women-owned firms reach that million-dollar revenue threshold, which is unchanged from a decade ago. Most women struggle to make as much as they did in their corporate jobs. And 88 percent of women-owned businesses aren’t creating any jobs either, surviving strictly as sole proprietors.

“Perhaps instead of unquestioningly cheering women starting new businesses, we need to more critically examine why so many women are leaving [their jobs], and how we might get them to stay,” Aarons-Mele writes. “Entrepreneurship has been marketed as a great alternative to the strictures of a traditional job — but that vision is often a fantasy.”

Her point is an interesting one, but we want to hear from you. For the female entrepreneurs out there, would you have stayed in your corporate jobs if you could have found the flexibility or autonomy you were looking for? And have any of you come to regret leaving employment for entrepreneurship?
